The Paris gambling hells are rather
busy Just now, more particularly those
In which women play. A police in
spectOr and his men made two swOops
on a recent evening. In one place in
the Rue de Ia Terrassee fifteen females
were playing with all their might when
the agents of the law entered the room
and seized a sum of about e250 which
was on the table, as well as the roulette
and the dice. A less important seizure
was effected IN a house in the Rue de
JaquemOnt, where eighteen females of
the fashionable cOcOtte type were at the
tables. One of them remarked to the
police that she wished they had put in
an appearance on the night before. as
they might have hindered her from
losing an Insignificant matter of e3OO
or thereabOut In this place about e15
was seized. the women having had time
to thrust a good deal of the gold and
bank notes In their pockets. The pro
prietresses Of the hells were arrested,
the others being allowed to 90 away.
The mania for gambling in hells and on
the race courses which has been de-
velOped of late years among the Paris
eourtesans from the emouquetts or

Aspasias Of the bOudOirs and the Bots,

tiles to be traced partly to the decline
Ia their ignoble earnings. and partly to
their desire to kill time, which hangs
heavily on their hands. We are far
from the dazzling females described by
the younger Dumas IN the Lady of the
Camelias, who, like Anna Deslions,
literally flung their gold away to show
that they despised 1t, and who, when
playing, were absolutely Indifferent to
their gains or losses Nowadays the

Tie Union Jack.

The red cross of st. George was the
national flag of England until the ac-
cessiOn of James l. The combination
Of the crosses Of st. George and st.
Andrew produced the first union Jack
in 1906. 1t symbOGzed the union OF
England and Scotland. The second
union jack, the meteor flag of Eng
land, was established by royal procla.
nation on the first of January, 1901,
when Ireland became an integral part
of the United Kingdom, her union with
England and Scotland being symbol
lied by the insertion of St Patrick's
Cross IN the existing flag. Properly
speaking, St. Patrick's Gross" is an in
correct stltement. The Irish Cross
seems derived from Constantine's IA
nous standard, the Labarum-an en-
blem which the early Irish Christians
seem to have known and esteemed.
The Fitzgeralds bore a red diagonal
cross on a white ground from early
times, and as early as 1913 this WAS
spoken of as the flag of Ireland. 1t
was sufficiently national to be regarded
as such IN 1901, and was combined, as
we have said, with the satire or white
diagonal cross of st. Andrew already
IN the union. These two are counter
senior member, is uppermost IN the
first quarter; the red is edged with
white as a fmbriation. This explains
why the red cross Of Ireland is mar
rover than the white cross of Scotland.
The white border Of st. Georges Cross
has always been officially ordered to be
One-third Of the width of the cross
itself; this border is not intended as
hmbriatiOn; it Is really a white cross
underlying a red cross One-fifth Of the
width. 1t is strange TO think that this
"white border" of our present union
jack IS most probably a direct result OF
the battle Of Agincourt IN 14l5. This
white cross was almost certainly the
French color adopted into the English
flag during the minority of Henry VI
The term "iaclz, applied to the flag, is
considered by some to be an abbrevia-
ton of King James signature, SAC.
But a more probable derivation is that
the surcOat worn over troopers ar
NOR was called ''jacque," and this in
the middle ages was usually emblaZ-
oned before and behind with the re-
cross of st. George.

Tom Ellar, In his unpublished rem
iniscences. relates g quaint incident
which happened while he was playing
harlequin at the Crow Street Theater,
Dublin, In 1909. On the opening night
Of the panbomime the mechanism Of the
final scene-a sort of hydraulic temple,
which was superintendent In the work
ing by Belzoni, the PatagOnian Ssmp-
son-went astray, and the audience
were treated to the extraordinary spec
tacle of a large volume Of water pour
ing over the stage into the orchestra,
and scattering the players and must
clans in all directions.
These aqua-dramas, although for
some years the principal attraction OF
Sadlera Wells, were invariably per
formed as after-pieces, and the great
water scene. which generally presented
some very powerful sensation was al
ways to be looked for IN the last act,
says a writer In the GsItlsHa1I's Mag
GziHe. When the curtain was lowered
for its preparation the audience whiled
away the interim In listening to the
trickling of the water into the great
tank, which was ninety feet in length
by twenty-three IN width Coming TO
within six feet Of the fOoIights), and of
sufficient depth for an average-sized
man to bottom and yet swim in. At
first the stage was made to ascend to
the roof Of the theater by means Of an
mgeniUs mechanical continuance, after
the lowering of the curtain; but IN af-
ter years, to save the delay of twenty
minutes thus wasted the operation was
more quickly performed in full sight Of
the audience. There was also another
tank considerably smaller in size. at
the top of the theater. which was used
in the production Of waterfalls in spec
tacular plays.
Never ending were the variety Of
surprises performed in these water
scenes, in which all the principal actors
had their aquatic doubles, upon whose
lively actions the interest mainly cen
tered. Mimic vessels of war. three
feet long. would sail about the tank en-
gagged in all the din and strife of con
tiict, and real out-and-out villains,
when pursued like poor Harvey Duff,
would throw themselves headlong into
the water amid the execrations Of the
audience. In philip and his Dog
very popular in 1616-a cleverly-
trained dog, known as Bruin. used tc
first rescue a dummy infant from the
water and then proceed to drown the
villain who had thrown it in. This was
| sensation with a vengeance!
A leading Real Estate Agent and PEi-
vate Banker, Mr.. Ira Brown, Chicago,
III, writes: at fesl it my duty to say
OF st. Jacobs Oil that L lay on my back
three months with rheumatism. tried
it, was cured, and have never been trOu-

heads Of four young ladies. "But if
the picture is placed across the room

By the Hurons the moon is called the
creator of the earth and grandmother
of the sun; in the myths Of the Ottawas
it is an old woman with a pleasant
white face-the sister Of the day-star.
The Chiquitos call the moon their
mother, and the Navajos make it a rider
on a mule. When the planets are wor-
shipped, preference in hOnors is gen
orally accorded to the brighter and
more conspicuous star of day. But the
BOtocudos of Brazil give the higher
place to the moon, and derive most of
the phenomena Of nature from it; and
in Central America and Hayti are also
people who hold the moon IN no less
honor. CuriOusly, these people find
their cOunterparts among tribes of
western, southern, and central Africa,
who rejoice with dancing and feasts at
each appearance of the new moon, and
expect an improvement Of their condi-
ton from its benehcent influence; and
they are not so far removed from the
5uperstitiOus women of civilized Europe
and America who wait for the increase
Of the moon to change their dwelling.
to cut their hair, to be married, and to
baptize their children. A belief ex-
jsted among the ancient Aexicans and
Peruvians, the Natchez of the Mis-
sissiPpi, and the Appalachians of
Florida, that the sun was the radiant
abode of dead chiefs and braves. To
the Esquimaux Of Labrador belongs
the honor Of having discovered that
the moon was the paradise for the
good, while the wicked were consigned
to hole in the earth; although some
Of the South American Indians and the
Polynesians OF Tokelau may be nearly
abreast of them In the competition.

4AoS this country.
each possessing some peculiar feat
ures. but having in general those
distinguishing traits which mark
them as all belonging to the
same great family. The dead-beat
(btJHltblEs) is, perhaps, the most
common species, and can be found
in great numbers In all large cit
les, his haunts usually being about
the @barrel houses" In the slums, and
In the lowest grade of lodging houses.
This species is so we'll known that no
further description Of 1t Is necessary,
except to say, that compared with the
species of dead-beat ge1ItjLjc9ts 1t IS not
near so dangerous to the community,
for, its true character being known,
people can avoid 1t; but the latter
named Is a far more bloodthirsty and
dangerous sort Of animal. The q. b.
gelltiL5clLs is generally possessed of
| great cunning, and having Sc
| tected a victim it is doughnuts
to diamonds that the unfortunate
cuss so selected gets done for
I every time. Dropping for the present
all attempts to write of this animal
/ from a scientific standpoint, would
/ Just like to tell you that the genteel
! dead-beat Is something to be dreaded,
/ to be avoided as you would pest
/ house. When you come across a man
who wears good clothes: who rarely, if
| ever, works; who has no legitimate
/ business; the source Of whose income,
like that of the river Nile, has
not been fully established, you are
warranted in the suspicion, at least,
that he is a dead-beat. If he asks you
for a bill OF groceries on credit,
1 no matter what kind Of story
he gives you, you are always on the
safe side in refusing to give such a
man credit-at least until you have
taken time to look up his record. Of
| course, if you want to make him a
present of a small bill Of goods, you
can do so, but to sell him anything on
future payment only cumbers your
books with a worthless account; be-
sides, it is making a record Of the IN
pleasant fact that you have been fool
enough to let a fellow oh you in broad
daylight and while you We're look
ing at him. If ne had taken
the goods when your back was
turned, or had broken into the
store at night, while you might feel
badly enough about the loss, yet you
would have the comforting assurance
that the theft was no fault of your neg
lect or lack of business sense. So it IS
never safe to experiment. If you sus-
pect that yCu have found one of these
creatures, a little iudicious investlga-
ton viii generally disclose whether
you are right or not. 1t Is always
better to be safe than sorry.

dear boy, for 1 am always glad to hear
from you. 1 am yours as ever.
